-LRB- CNN -RRB- -- A 19-year-old Detroit woman who was shot and killed on the front porch of a home was not shot at close range , according to an autopsy report .

Police have said that the homeowner 's shotgun accidentally discharged , shooting Renisha McBride in the face . Lawyers for McBride say she was simply looking for help after a car crash , while those representing the homeowner say the 54-year-old was justified in his actions .

As reported by the Detroit News , McBride 's autopsy left many questions unanswered .

It confirmed that McBride had been shot in the face , but revealed little about how the early morning incident on November 2 unfolded .

`` There was an entrance shotgun wound to the face , with no evidence of close range discharge of a firearm noted on the skin surrounding this wound , '' said the autopsy report , which ruled her death a homicide .

Police said McBride was in a car accident earlier that morning , but that hours passed between the crash and the time of her death .

A woman told police that she helped McBride after the car crash , but that McBride said she wanted to go home and walked away from the scene , the Detroit News reported .

The wreck happened about 1:30 a.m. and the shooting at 3:40 a.m. .

The homeowner , whose name has not been released , has said that he was awakened before dawn and believed someone was trying to break into his home .
